Only two counties have not had any fatalities this year. An MEP called for a "get-tough approach" to speeding after the number of fines issued by speed camera vans fell from 110,000 to 96,500 last year. Fianna Fáil MEP Cynthia Ní Mhurchú serves on the EU Transport Committee. She said one in three fatal crashes are directly or indirectly linked to speeding. The drop in speed-camera fines is presented as a concern in light of the high proportion of speed-related fatal collisions. The statements underline a push for stricter enforcement to reduce deaths on the roads.
